“african” is NOT a race

Otherwise obama, Ian Smith and P.W. Botha = all the same race

[RobRoy]

On Youtube there is an episode of a 70’s TV game show where the answer to a question that today would be “gay” or “homosexual”. But in this show, the “normal and acceptable answer” was “queer”.

And this document reeks of modern modification because of a similar concept: In 1961, blacks were called negro, colored, darkie, and several other less accepted names, but they were NEVER called “African” as Urkel’s father was in this document. An American adult in 1961 would no more have called a negro “African” than they would have called a homosexual “gay”. That alone is enough to raise huge questions about this document.

I certainly would not put it past the Deceiver in Chief to have someone generate a forgery. In fact, I would be very surprised if it were NOT a forgery, given Obama’s proclivity toward lying and half-truths.

Obama didn't release anything new. He released the same old COLB.

If The Donald does not make a big stink about this, it means he's a stalking-horse for Hussein, meant to inoculate him from further birth certificate inquiries.

Pres. Obama releases his birth certificate... the question now is why did he spend millions of dollars trying not to release it?

I suspected that this birth certificate was probably found in the same brown envelope that Dan Ra^ther found the fake but accurate ANG memos about W.

It could turn out to be the 8th wonder of the world, or is that now the 12th wonder of the world?

” . . . White House today describes Obama Sr.’s race as “African.” That word is common in today’s usage . . .”

Actually, it’s not and never has been. Recall Madelyn Albright’s description of a black official she met with in Africa,”an African-American (pause) African.” As a knee-jerk lib, she had no other way of describing a black man. The obviously pc creator of this Race-designation fell into the same trap: he/she couldn’t very well call a Kenyan an “African-American.”

[longfellow]

If he was born here why did he and his wife say his birthplace was Kenya. So he lied while he was running for congress in Chicago.

With my weekend int Haiti concluded.
I now had a little money to spend.
That's when I came to meet
my African friend...

[Mach9]

This does make me wonder, though. Surely other blacks were born in Hawaii in 1961, if not at Kapiolani at Hickham or Pearl. How are their COLBs filled out?

[B212]

as I sit here, enjoying my morning coffee, I casually looked over the released document....the first major attraction, was the term “African”....it was in neon lights....I lived through the ‘60s....no one was an African

[puppypusher]

They damn sure weren’t known as African-Americans.That term didn’t arrive until much later in the 1970’s if I’m correct.

it’s very possible that when the parents filled out the information sheet, that they put African. And the staff who probably had very little experience with biracial children... just copied what was written.

[hosepipe]

Truth is.. ALL black people most africans and most mulatto’s ...ARE... Negros.. but mulatto’s can identify as one race or the other..

[RavenATB]

I wonder it it was up to the father to self-identify his race. Being something of an “African nationalist” he might have been the “one in a million” who might use such an identifier. Personally, I'm much more interested in the fact that this appears to be yet another “secondary” creation of a document...not the actual original long-form Birth Cert document.
